Three-Day Town: A Deborah Knott Mystery, cartea 17
Autor Margaret Maronen Limba Engleză Paperback – 29 oct 2012
After a year of marriage, Judge Deborah Knott and Sheriff's Deputy Dwight Bryant are off to New York City for a long-delayed honeymoon. January might not be the perfect time to take a bite of the Big Apple, but Dwight's sister-in-law has arranged for them to stay in her Upper West Side apartment for a week.
Deborah had been asked to deliver a package to Lieutenant Sigrid Harald of the NYPD from Sigrid's Colleton County grandmother. But when the homicide detective comes to pick it up, the package is missing and the building's super is found murdered. Now despite their desire to enjoy a blissful winter getaway, Deborah and Dwight must team up with Lt. Harald to catch the killer before he strikes again.

Recenzii
"
This
book
has
plenty
of
suspense
and
the
characters
are
well
done.
One
of
Ms.
Maron's
strengths
is
the
believability
of
her
characters.
They
add
to
the
story
and
don't
distract
the
reader
with
useless
red
herrings.
As
usual,
the
interplay
between
Dwight
and
Deborah
is
wonderfully
romantic
even
in
the
midst
of
a
murder.
I
have
to
say
that
I
will
be
glad
to
see
them
back
home
in
the
next
book.
I
just
love
the
family
dynamics
and
the
southern
ambiance
in
these
books.
Can't
wait
for
the
next
book
in
the
series!!"—imainlinefiction.blogspot.com
